Weekly cash disbursement batch sheet & wire authorization log — "Audit finding for deficient dual-control approvals on high-value outbound transfers"
Why the manual spreadsheet breaks financial controls and how a deterministic workflow replaces it.
High-value wires are approved in email threads and logged after the fact in a weekly disbursement sheet with no enforced second approver.
Dual-control failures on outbound transfers produce audit findings and leave the company exposed to business email compromise.
Multi-party approval workflow with cryptographically signed authorizations, role-based limits, and an immutable release log.
Release assertion: wires above the policy limit require two distinct signed approvals from authorized roles before the bank instruction is sent.
Three-stage comparison between manual workbook reconciliation and automated rule-based execution.
High-value transfers authorized in threads and logged afterward.
Deficient dual control on outbound transfers and exposure to business email compromise.
